ISLAMIC WORK ETHICS AND ORGANISATIONAL CONSTRUCTS: MALAYSIAN CONTEXT

Malaysia aspires to achieve the Qur’anic ideal of “baldatun tayyibatun wa Rabbun ghafur” (the country that is blessed and forgiven by Allah SWT). However, in order to achieve “baldatun tayyibatun wa Rabbun ghafur”, Malaysia has to overcome the challenge of protecting its integrity and upholding a high standard of ethics. In this context, the importance of a work ethic manifests. One such framework is Islamic Work Ethics (IWE), which draws on Islamic foundations and principles as the underlying source of any proposed solution.
